In addition, the Red Crescent ambulance crews recovered two killed Palestinians and a number of wounded people, as a result of the Israeli occupation’s bombing of a group of Palestinians in the vicinity of the Dawla junction in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City. They were also transferred to the Baptist Hospital.
Since the beginning of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip in October, Palestinians throughout Gaza have been facing the suffering of displacement, as the Israeli occupation army forces them to evacuate their homes by force in preparation for bombing and destroying the Palestinian areas.
During their displacement, Palestinian civilians have been forced to seek refuge in the homes of their relatives or acquaintances, while some set up tents in the streets, schools, or other places, under difficult humanitarian conditions where there is no sufficient water or food, and diseases spread.
The number of displaced people inside the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the aggression on October 7 has reached about two million people.
Several other Israeli attacks occurred on Sunday, in addition to the school massacres.
A civilian was killed on Sunday evening in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City.
Medics with the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that citizen Bassam Al-Aloul was killed after being targeted by an Israeli drone in the Islamic Complex Street in the Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City, adding that his body was transferred to the Baptist Hospital in the city.
Two Palestinians were killed on Sunday evening in Israeli shelling of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip.
Eyewitnesses reported that the Israeli occupation forces targeted a house in the center of Deir al-Balah city, which led to the killing of two civilians and the injury of others.
Her story is an eternal stain on our humanity.
And there are 130,000 stories like hers, over the last 10 months, and many more over the last 76 years.
This barbarism must stop and the perpetrators must be held #accountable. pic.twitter.com/7ShQqwBjqI

Is it self-defense when you bomb the tents of displaced people in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza?
